About this listen

In Judea, under the brutal rule of King Herod, a woman yearns for a child but is outcast when she does not fall pregnant. Against all convention, she masters the art of glassblowing, a creative act she believes will keep her dream of motherhood alive.

In Renaissance Florence, a young wife is left penniless by her hopelessly unfaithful husband and struggles to find a way to support herself and her young son.

In contemporary Australia, a talented textile conservator, devastated by loss, is desperate to regain control of her life.

Each woman wants something that seems unattainable, and it will take all their courage, creativity and determination to achieve it.

A stunning, sweeping historical novel spanning two thousand years, One Illumined Thread celebrates the power and creative spirit of the female heart, as each woman finds freedom through an extraordinary connection.

This audiobook contains sensitive themes.

Critic reviews

'One Illumined Thread is one of those...that will stay with you. The historical depth and authentic character development keep your mind (and heart) immersed long after.' (Books+Publishing)

'Crafted masterfully... This is a story of love – both its presence and absence - but above all, it gives agency to its female protagonists. Extensively researched, expertly written.' (Good Reading)

'So alive and brimming with story, One Illumined Thread held me captive from the start. An exquisite interweaving of history and herstory.' (Lyn Hughes, author of Mr Carver's Whale)
